Linear memories of forgotten items
My current work is influenced by my observational illustrations of items we often forget such as worn-out trainers, favourite biscuits, a leaf found on a walk or fishing at the beach .
My embroideries explore my fascination with the line that can be drawn with thread. My objective is to explore the items' individual characteristics and beauty to retell their stories invoking memories in you.
Each embroidered artwork is a unique one-off, beautifully made, ready to be displayed in your home.
